Lisa,
I share your frustration. A few years ago, we approached a local supermarket about the possibility of doing fundraising for our group in October.

This store raised funds annually for a large national BC group. Within a day Christine received a threatening phone call from the group's headquarters about our organization invading their "territory" and warning of dire consequences if we continued our effort.

Keep in mind that this was a single store and the other organization has income in millions annually.

Hypocrisy at its finest.

Regards
Joe
